Land Use Changes, Land Surface Temperature (LST), urban growth, spatial analysis, thermal analysisAbstract
Land surface temperature (LST) is used as an indicator for land temperature.
Previous research demonstrates a strong correlation between urban growth and
land surface temperature. The rising of land temperature will lead to urban heat
island if there are no preventative precautions done. Due to the area's rapid
urbanisation, this study will focus on Kuching City. Matang Jaya, Tabuan Jaya,
Satok, and Batu Kawa were chosen as case studies. These areas are rapidly
developing, with new townships and population growth. The Landsat 7 data set
was used as secondary data in this study. Spatial and thermal analysis were
performed on the output using ERDAS software and ArcGIS. The analyses
derived land use changes between 2005 and 2017, temperature statistics for land
use types, and LST retrieval for case studies. The result indicates that the land
surface temperature increased with the case studies' physical development.
